It seems you’re referring to the “Metropolitan Transport Project, Chennai (MTPC) Pink Book”, which historically was a section dedicated to Chennai’s metro and urban transit initiatives within the Indian Railways’ annual Pink Book—a detailed budgetary and project compilation.
What Was the MTPC Entry in the Pink Book?
Until recently, the Indian Railways’ Pink Book—published alongside the national budget—included, under the Metro Railway (MR) zone, a segment titled “Metropolitan Transport Project, Chennai”. This part outlined sanctioned works, machinery, and rolling stock procurement specifically for Chennai’s metro system.
Pink Book Changes in 2025
- As of March 2025, the Indian Railways has discontinued the consolidated Pink Book for individual zones, including the Metro Railway pink segment. Project and budget disclosures are now made through zone-wise documents rather than the central Pink Book.
- Consequently, the MTPC Pink Book for Chennai is no longer published as a separate entity.
How to Access Chennai Metro Project Details Now
While the MTPC Pink Book is no longer available, you can still stay informed about Chennai Metro developments via:
- Chennai Metro Rail Limited (CMRL) updates and tenders—for instance, Phase II corridor expansions, depot works, and safety upgrades.
- Union Railway Board publications or zone-wise budget documents, which will now carry forward the commitments once outlined in the Pink Book.
